Comments

Day was well-forcasted. Southern slopes were scoured well by strong winds, northern ones were loaded. More sheltered terrain was soft and glorious, more open terrain and wind effect and wind slabs, which were touchy to human triggering, and had naturaled as well. Still thin and not consequential if one avoided exposure, but certainly were present, and likely to get larger as the storm progresses
